31 May Congratulations Isabelle Démosthènes, M.P.O.!
Congratulations to Isabelle Démosthènes, M.P.O., for graduating from the Apraxia Kids Intensive Training Institute (Apraxia Boot Camp)!
Isabelle completed her maîtrise professionnelle en orthophonie at l’Université de Montréal in 2005. After seven years as a school-based speech therapist in classes for children with special needs, she now operates a private practice in Mirabel, Québec, Canada. She provides services in French to children aged 18 months to 10 years old presenting with a variety of communication challenges (speech sound disorder, childhood apraxia of speech, developmental language disorder, autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, developmental delays, cognitive impairments…). She is also a PROMPT Instructor and presents workshops in French and in English to SLPs in Canada and in Europe.
Apraxia Kids: If you were to state the #1 thing you learned from this training experience, what would that be?
Isabelle: Throughout this experience, I really improved my overall knowledge of CAS and I had the chance to explore different approaches for treating motor speech disorders. But, most of all, I expanded my toolbox for differential diagnosis and refined my assessment skills.
Apraxia Kids: Tell us about any relationships that you formed through the training experience.
Isabelle: The Bootcamp allowed me to connect with many knowledgeable speech pathologists, share different experiences and develop new friendships.
Apraxia Kids: If you have implemented strategies learned at boot camp, please describe them.
Isabelle: I have modified my assessment protocol for CAS to include some of the tools presented at camp.
Apraxia Kids: What would you say to someone considering applying to boot camp next year?
Isabelle: Bootcamp is a challenging and demanding experience, but it is worth every bead of sweat!
